Not like Dantediscovering a commediaupon the slopes of heavenI would paint a different kindof Paradisoin which the people would be nakedas they always arein scenes like that because it is supposed to bea painting of their souls but there would be no anxious angels telling themhow heaven isthe perfect picture ofa monarchy and there would be no fires burningin the hellish holes below in which I might have steppednor any altars in the sky exceptfountains of imagination
